Top Benelli M4 Questions Answered (922r Compliance and More) 

My benelli M4 doesn't cycle target loads well. Lots of FTF.

Dumb... Make the tube 1 cm longer. Or don't and we'll use one that does.

Maybe you should contact Benelli and tell them that it’s dumb that the length they choose to make their standard length tubes is 1 cm short for you. Our tube is an exact replica of their tube, at least dimensionally. But you’re welcome to find the tube out there that is 1 cm longer.

This comment made my day a couple of weeks ago and still warms my heart today - I love what I do and appreciate when my passion helps others

@@FreedomFighterTactical Yeah it is rad. I just bought a new H20 M4 model and im glad i found this channel. So helpful.

You should see what they deal with during the rest if their weekly schedule.

@@dougwilliams44I could only imagine however does that justify borderline harassment of a legal firearm owner? I’m new to guns and this hobby I shouldn’t have to worry if changing my slide release button on my shotgun is 922 compliant. Meanwhile they’re letting fentanyl in the country

Tacticool coal miner - did u buy with the collapsible stock ? Did u have to submit an ATF letter? Want to gift one but unsure about the legality Thanks

Glad you like them!

I love helping the Benelli crowd out and getting to know and help people that call. Thanks for the kind words 👊🏻

Garrett: very happy to have you with us - please let us know if you have any questions 👊🏻🇺🇸

Thank you!

That’s how I roll 👊🏻 thanks for watching and for the feedback

Dude, that's awesome! 👊🏻

Got mine today 🍻

The same one is used on the M4

@@FreedomFighterTactical I just bought 3 items only because the others were sold out or on extreme back order. I ordered under Johnnie Adams. Thank you for the update videos!

YES THEY DO. Or, Assume that they WILL! I learned the hard way, while out shooting my GSG MP-38. EVEN WITH the $200 Stamp in the gun's CASE! Officer's PROBABLE CAUSE, was "I KNOW I saw a WW2 German Mp-38"! Of course I was not charged in the end. (This is in Missouri!) One of the currently most 2A loving states within the "Lower 48". Luckily I also? Had my LAST NAME laser engraved on the magwell... 🇺🇸🦈

The only thing that changes it from 3 to 4 is the collapsible stock.

Yeah, I've never been a big fan of the C-stock on ANY gun. I *hated* the Knoxx stock on the Remington. They look cool, but functionally I much prefer the standard pistol grip stock, and the Mesa one at that when available. Thanks for watching and providing feedback 👊🏻

You’re welcome

Unfortunately, it isn’t possible.

Ghost load and have 7 rounds 5 in tube and 2 ghost load

Yeah see I had the same question. So who upholds this law? How does average Joe Police officer determine if the gun is not in compliance? If I am out shooting, any cop can come and question me simply because I have a Benelli M4? Then what? He can take it from me because I can't prove it is in compliance? I find this all very hard to understand how they would uphold this law.

Yes, of course!

@@FreedomFighterTactical thank you

I don’t have 922r info for the Supernova. We have some parts for that gun but not many - see the website

Good luck with your gun - however, we are strictly mail order only.

I don't know anything about that gun. You could write a letter to the ATF to get an answer. The address is on my website.

This is it...

John Wick will say yes!

Point taken. Thank you for your feedback 👊🏻

I have a page on the website with videos and all the information you need. See top menu where it says 922r.

Did you watch the video bruh lol. He goes over in length what needs to be done.

I know nothing about Canadian law. Sorry.

Provided it has a barrel plug in it while hunting (to restrict it to 2 shells plus 1 in the chamber), otherwise there's no real limit on it, provided the shotgun has been made for it. Some .22s have larger magazines, but I've never seen or even heard of one in Canada.

Yes, sorry I forgot - Chief, Firearms Technology Branch Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Firearms Technology Branch 244 Needy Road Martinsburg, WV 25401

Brian: So glad you responded, and you weren't being a dick. I wouldn't think that at all. That being said, I'm going to address your comments directly and with honesty, so please don't think I'm being a dick about it - because I'm not. I'll start with saying that I couldn't care less if anyone observes 922(r) or not. It's none of my business, and quite frankly, I just don't care. Just like I don't care if someone speeds down the freeway. That's their prerogative and they are free to conduct themselves the way they want and pay any consequences that could come about from their decision. That being said, I provide a service - that being to put premium aftermarket shotgun parts in the hands of people who desire them. When I started FFT, there was no phone number on the website. I had email only. For two years I was hammered with emails from people about 922(r). Their curiosity and their questions didn't start with me - they learned about it somewhere else and they came to me for answers on parts they were considering buying from me - parts, mind you, that could put someone in potential legal jeopardy if configured improperly. I was getting 8 to 10 emails per day, and it was hard to help people in email, so I added the phone number. The inquiries increased - and this was at a time when I had no videos out explaining it, and no page on the website explaining it. So it wasn't 'coming from [me] mostly as you stated. In fact, I wasn't talking about it at all in the public - only to people who were asking privately. After years of that, I decided to try to help people more and to become a resource to explain it to them. I mean, I had a choice: Explain it to everyone so they have an opportunity to make an educated decision about the law and whether or not they wanted to comply with it, or say nothing, only help those who ask for the help, and let the other people who know nothing about the law buy parts that potentially make them felons, and to which they don't even know they're committing a felony. I decided to inform everyone so they could make an educated decision about what to do. That's part of the service I provide, and I've been providing it long before others started providing it - and there are others providing it - it isn't just me at FFT. So you asked around and the general consensus is that it's a non-issue. You mentioned some of who you asked around about it were two FFLs. To be quite honest, none of that matters. None of their opinions matter - at all. The only opinions that are going to matter are that of a prosecuting attorney and a judge or jury. That's it. What also could matter is if you had a personalized letter from the ATF telling you that you could build the gun a certain way, but that way ended up being illegal. What prosecutor or judge/jury could come after you for complying with what the ATF said? But if you were ever prosecuted on this, try telling a prosecutor or a judge that you 'asked around' and the 'general consensus as you understand it is that it's a non-issue.' Think they're going to look at you and say 'Well, Hell. He asked around. Some FFL told him it's okay along with a few other gun guys, so let's drop all charges.' Not a chance. In fact, the odds are high that by pointing to the FFL or to 'other guys' in the gun community that you built the gun as they thought and told you would be legal, most likely you just pled guilty without even realizing it. It's like guys that get caught speeding - they admit in court that they were driving 85 and then follow it up with 'I was going the speed of traffic.' The gavel goes down and they're guilty as charged by admission. Their face is in shock and they didn't even realize they just admitted guilt. Nothing else needs to even be said the judge wants to move on to the next case. Another thing - in California we're dealing with federal law in regards to 922(r) and in California we are dealing with state law with the State of California Assault Weapons Ban. Your last two sentences seem to commingle state and federal law and include quite a misunderstanding of California law, or so it appears, so I'm not going to go there since I'm not quite sure what you said. To end this response, let me be clear - I think it's a bullshit law (actually, a group of laws, statutes, and directives from the ATF), and it's written very poorly and is very vague and ambiguous. Additionally, a large percentage of law enforcement has never heard of it, would never hear of it, and wouldn't care about it. However, a substantial percentage of law enforcement DOES know about it, HAS heard of it, and CARES about it, and WOULD prosecute a violation of it. Odds are high you're already in trouble for other things, and 922(r) is just additional charges - but still - there are plenty of shitbag prosecutors who hate the gun culture and would love to make hay out of something like this. Worth the risk, particularly in California? For me, not a chance.

@@FreedomFighterTactical I appreciate all that and in the end I placed an order on your site lol. For those that might read this I think maybe I can bring some ignorance to the table that is overlooked. In my understanding of the 922r what I purchased was just fine being it came configured for LEO and is 7+1 but none of that was done by me, this is easy to prove since I have the purchase order etc. What happened in my situation is I wanted to add an optic and now that the gun is here and ready to DROS realized something. I am going to want an adjustable comb for a good cheek weld to fit me better. This is where I think if I am understanding this crap correctly it becomes an issue modifying anything on this gun. My cop buddy is currently talking to atf to get some info because he has not heard about this either. But, like you said that is not going to protect someone regardless of his conclusion. I reached out to another uspsa shooter after our conversation and he laughed with a confirmation this is real but he also doesn't understand it as well as you do. So, in the end I gave you a call and am appreciative for what you are doing and I understand it a little better. For those reading any of this I will put it as simple as I can from an ignorance stand point. Upgrade the stock to something better like mesa tactical Urbino and you now have a problem with 922r. You are now almost there in terms of not having a problem so spend the $100 and get new hand guards and mag follower for your 3 total parts to be done with all this nonsense. I ended up buying a couple more goodies I couldn't resist and will have a cool setup when it is done. Thanks again for your reply and help, I look forward to my parts arriving.

Brian: Just to be clear - adding the Mesa Stock does not trigger 922(r) with the Benelli shotgun. The ONLY things you can add to the Benelli M4 that trigger 922(r) is to add either or both of the collapsible stock and any tube that increases capacity over 5 rounds. Nothing else you do to this gun triggers 922(r). The Mesa stock actually counts as a 922(r) part because it's on the ATF parts list and it's American made.

Freedom Fighter Tactical, LLC I’m using what I learned to help others that I know. It’s the capacity altering that starts this issue and you have the work around parts to correct it, plain and simple. Another good point I just learned from your email is that the h2o is not exempt from this despite what’s floating around on the net. After annoying the shit out of you I realized this is simple and annoying. Just follow your mathematics on this based on which benelli you have and be done with all this. Or call it all stupid and roll the dice. I spent more than I wanted in money and pressed your patience only to end where I could have started, minus the frustration. I hope others follow this advice and I thank you for your help. I hope I’ll love all my incoming parts and they work well.

People are finding them. Perhaps Gunbroker.

I was able to buy an M4 on gun brokers just two weeks ago

Buds Guns has them for $2400 gunbroker you're gonna be closer to $3k

There are a bunch now. Unfortunately due to the COVID, riots and election results, they are even more overpriced than ever. If Biden bans imports, they could be gone and this might be the last chance to grab one despite the price

Gun Prime 1,649 ready to ship just got one

I may or may not have mentioned it in the video, but that’s a spec button made out of a weak resin - it was a model, not a real part

Never seen South Park - but I get it - I’m working on um and uh first and if I can ever eliminate that I’ll move on to okay 🤣👊🏻👍🏻 thanks for the constructive criticism I do indeed appreciate it
